FIRST GROW - 600W 9 plants vs 1-4 plants 10sqft

Hi everyone.

I'm starting my first grow and I'd love some critique before I get started

• 10sqft Approx 3x3
• 600W HPS Hortilux
• propane CO2 generator @1500ppm
• Skywalker OG
• 9 12" clones
• 5 gal pails
• Sunshine #4
• Sensi 2+

Goal - 36 oz

Is it better to use 9 plants in this space or 1-4 larger plants?

10 sq feet should be plenty of room for 9 plants if you don't veg your clones. If you veg for 3-4 weeks you might want to cut that down to 5-6 plants.

Thanks rombomb,

I plan on flowering straight from 12-18" clones

any other comments? suggestions?

Don't fuck it up.

Damn that's some expensive ass soil man lol. Never heard of that shit. Hope it's worth the money. But no, seriously, probably the only thing I would add is you might want to invest in some superthrive. It will help them really make a big fat root ball immediately after transplant. I use it from seed all the way up until the plant starts to show buds. At that point they stop devoting the majority of their energy to rooting & growth & start devoting it to budding. Good luck with some fat buds, I'll keep following along here.

Gonna be tough to reach your goal with 1 600 I would rock fewer plants and veg longer make some bushes....you vegging with the hps?????

Would 1000w/16sqft/16 plants be better?

I want to use either pre-flower teens or veg 4 weeks with CFL or MH. Not sure on power needed and watts/sqft required.

Rombomb Thanks I'll grab some superthrive. What OG's have you grown

Typical yield on a 600w is 8-12oz. Get it down well and you can hit 16. I think you need to readjust your first time goal.

Typical yield on a 1kW is 1lb.
